Remaining individual chapters of the dissertation focus on syncope and final-syllable vowel loss data attested in Gallo-Roman and Old French (chapter 4) and in Old Spanish (chapter 5), and on vowel-loss patterns in two ...

The existence and behavior of ground-state and thermally-activated excitations in helium solids have been extensively examined by a variety of experimental and theoretical studies. Although these excitations are typically ...

Results include an analysis of the water balance components over periods bounded with similar satiated moisture storage conditions. The field site was found to have an excess storage during most periods which is partially ...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests as deficits in impulse control, excessive activity in home or school settings, and an inability to focus ...

In multiprocessor and distributed real-time systems, scheduling jobs dynamically on processors is likely to achieve better performance. However, analytical and efficient validation methods for determining whether all the ...

Sub-constructs of faculty validation emerged, with items loading onto four components: students known and valued, good instruction, appreciation for diversity, and mentoring. Faculty validation was found to strongly predict ...

Accurate representation of ice accretions is important to the study and understanding of aircraft icing. For research and certification purposes, replicas of ice accretions generated from icing wind tunnels are fabricated ...

Results based on four pilot tests administered over the span of two academic semesters suggested that: (a) the modified C-test procedure delivered enhanced linkage to the department's curriculum, and (b) psychometric ...

Simulation of the transient stability problem of a power system, which is the assessment of the short term angular and voltage stability of the system following a disturbance, is of vital importance. It is widely known in ...

Poor seated postural control negatively impacts the performance of daily activities in non-ambulatory persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) and may be a potential target of rehabilitation. However, there is a lack of ...
